New to BYC. Would like to buy chickens in our area but having a hard time finding any. We live in the Jasper area of Walker Co. Any ideas?

Hi Lulu, Welcome to Byc and the ALABAMA thread! I may can help you, depending on what you want. I'm just down the highway from you..........
I have some Black Orpingtons available but no SLW. I think I have the phone number of a lady in Gordo that has SLW but I don't know their quality. If you want to try to order eggs (its not a good time with the heat) I can incubate them for you and we will work something out where you pay per egg started, or chick hatched, or where I get a percentage of the chicks hatched. I have a 288 egg incubator that I just recently fired up for the fall, a little early.......

Feel free to ask around about me from anyone on here or elsewhere that has bought chicks from me. I am straight forward and easy to deal with. I am not trying to make a living with chickens, it is a hobby that sometimes pays part of it's own way.
If you want to talk, PM me and I'll give you my phone number.
Last night I picked the scab, and cleaned it real well with chlorhexadine scrub. It really doesn't look that bad, maybe I caught it in time and there will be no cutting or stew involved. I would probably be sad to eat one of my big girls.

I would really like a few orpingtons and silver laced wyandotte's. I am just getting started with chickens and am just keeping them as pets and egg layers. I am one of those people with very spoiled chickadees.
I can vouch for Wisher myself! She has very healthy chickens! I got Easter Eggers and the black Orpingtons from her and haven't had any problems from them. And she is very easy to deal with, very personable and knows her chickens!
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
